The Vegan month just got tastier with crispy cauliflower wings! 🌱
Perfectly crunchy, totally plant-based, and packed with flavour! 😋🍴
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
- 1 cup flour (or gluten-free)
- 1 cup plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 cup vegan breadcrumbs
For the Tomato-Based Sauce:
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, plant-based milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Coat the Cauliflower:
- Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, shaking off any excess.
- Roll the florets in breadcrumbs for added crispiness.
- Bake the Cauliflower:
- Arrange the coated cauliflower on the baking sheet and bake for 20 mins. Flip them halfway through for even baking.
- Make the Tomato-Based Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 mins.
- Coat with Sauce:
- Remove the baked cauliflower from the oven and toss it in the tomato-based sauce until evenly coated.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 mins until the cauliflower is crispy and caramelized.
- Serve
